I see a lot of writers to stop telling people to wear certain things, and I can’t keep my opinions to my self anymore. This is what I have to say to the writers of those articles: LET PEOPLE WEAR WHAT THEY’RE COMFORTABLE IN. If you don’t like what they’re wearing, the solution is simple: DON’T LOOK AT THEM. It is THAT easy.
I have seen articles telling girls to stop wearing leggings to class, and to keep athletic wear at the gym, and so on. I even saw an article that told girls to stop wearing cheeky bikini bottoms. Here is the deal: not all girls feel comfortable in jeans. Not all girls feel comfortable all covered up. Not all girls are girly. Same goes for guys. Some guys like jeans, while others would rather wear shorts in January. It’s all up to them – not you. We learn in Kindergarten that we should respect the opinions of others, but these writers are not even offering opinions. They are straight up insulting the people who make these fashion choices, and saying that they are a lesser person for wearing sweat-pants and a t-shirt to their 9:00 AM class. We aren’t all morning people. We don’t all value looking “nice”. For some, looking “nice” means wearing their hair down. For others, it’s jeans, boots, and full make up. Both are fine. But, what isn’t fine it making fun of the another person for not dressing the way you’re dressing.
This isn’t just happening in fashion. I read an article about how women should stop breast feeding in public, and there is the infamous article the I see all the damn time about how girls should stop “Yeti Butting”. Let people enjoy things! If a girl wants to post a picture of their ass on a cooler, let her! And, as far as breast feeding goes, there are little to no accommodations for breastfeeding mothers. Until those accommodations are met, they’re going to pop their boobs out and feed their kid in front of you. It’s just how it is, and, unless you have a kid, you don’t know what it is like. Babies get more "hangry" than you can imagine. When they want food, they want food. End of story. And, pumping isn’t as easy as it sounds. Overall, if you haven’t had to breast feed a baby, I don’t really think you have any say in the matter. Again, don’t like it? DON’T LOOK. Plain and simple.
Different things make different people happy. Some like to wear clothes that cover them up, and others don’t mind show off what they’ve got. Some prefer comfort over glam. It’s YOUR style. You should be yourself, and not what someone tells you to be, and by writer articles that basically tear people apart for dressing a certain way or doing something that makes you uncomfortable you are going against everything our generation is fighting for – EQUALITY, ACCEPTANCE, AND TOLERANCE. So what? This girl in your class showed up to class in her gym clothes – big deal. You don’t know her. Maybe she is going to the gym after class. Maybe she has nothing else to wear. And maybe, just maybe – that is her personal style. And, unless she knocks your style, why do it to her? Exactly.
So, moral of the story is: Let people do them, and you do you, and we’ll all people happy and accept each other for who they are and not how they dress during class.
